Toxicity to pets

Carprofen is a veterinary-specific, prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for treatment of osteoarthritis, inflammation, and pain control in dogs. In overdose situations, carprofen causes gastrointestinal damage (e.g., vomiting and diarrhea with blood), organ injury (e.g., kidney failure, liver damage), and – with severe overdose – neurological signs (e.g., seizure, coma).
